The square is beautiful and crowded. This is the tourist center of Barcelona. It is from the square that many tourist routes begin, and tourist buses depart. In addition, there are shopping malls around the square. And in the Inglese Court on the top floor, it's nice to relax and have a snack while admiring Barcelona
A beautiful place. I want to go back there. Various architectural objects. There is a fountain, an observation deck and much more. The place is convenient for a meeting because there is a lot of transport and it is convenient to get there.
The heart of Barcelona! The main streets radiate from the square, there is a huge El corte ingles store on it, buses to/from the airport, metro, and commuter trains depart and arrive... You can't even list everything!! You definitely need to start exploring Barcelona from Plaza Catalunya!
Nicely. There are a lot of vacationers, but also shops. Take a walk and relax . Be sure to visit if you are visiting Barcelona. Boutiques of different brands are within walking distance.
The most iconic and beautiful place. In the evening, the main musical fountain entertains tourists. There is an Arena shopping center on the square, there used to be bullfighting there..now there are restaurants and shops..The metro is right on the square. .Stairs and escalators lead up to the palace and then to Montjuic..
A beautiful place, near the museum and exhibition centers. There is also a large shopping center with a supermarket and a food court and an observation deck with restaurants upstairs. There is a metro station and a hotel nearby.
Be sure to go to the fountain show! Evening, lighting, jets of fountains shooting up and scattering with fine mist, Barcelona performed by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe - this is Love!
A very atmospheric place. It is so large-scale that it even seems a little empty, although there are a lot of architectural accents. On the red line of tourist buses.
Everything is very beautiful and spacious, but there are not enough cafes. As it is, everything is fine. Maybe I'll come back. Everything is perfect and cool.
Until the 19th century, this place was located outside the city walls, having decided to demolish them, the authorities announced a competition for the best idea for the development of the territory. The main square of Barcelona acquired its main appearance by 1888, but it was also modernized and transformed several times.
It would seem that shops, various sculptures, a couple of fountains, as well as a monument to the former president of Catalonia Francesc Macia are scattered around the square quite casually and carelessly. The monument was made by master Josep Subirax, who is the leading architect in the construction of the Sagrada Familia Cathedral.
We have been here several times. We have adapted to transfer from the metro to buses here. And along the Rambla we started our way from here. The fountain and the sculptures are good. There is a shopping mall nearby. There are signs in Russian. By the way, it is convenient to take a bus to Guell Park from here. It's a long drive, but it's like an excursion.
Viva Catalonia:)
Looking at this architectural masterpiece, you partially realize the scale of the greatness of this people through the centuries! It's hard to drive past and not get stuck with your mouths open :)
It is difficult to miss this place, as when you reach the end of the Rambla you will inevitably find yourself in this square.
It's very beautiful here.
